Sheep Rush (2 – a drawing)

Pastel on Ingre Paper.Most artists start with a drawing or drawings before moving onto a painting, but here the painting (see oil paintings category) came before the drawing. I sold the painting and missed seeing it about so did a drawing to fill the gap.

Evolution of a drawing

The drawing in the sketch book is for a starting point, not to copy.

I'm starting to use the sketch book less and less now and refer more and more to the memory in my head.

I'm now starting to get more into the colour and pattern and how that affects the emotion.

Its now at the stage where I have to leave it for a while. I have to go back to it at a later stage with fresh eyes.

Wax/oil pastel

I’m exploring different was to use this medium at the moment. I’m doing a lot of scraping back. Did you cover a piece of paper with brightly coloured wax crayon and in turn cover with black, then scrap a picture through as a child? A bit like that! this is not finished at the moment. I want more texture.

Finished version as appears in Hay exhibition. Its not quite this bright in real life.
£110 framed.
